Dear Betty,
As you surely noticed, I went into your office with a less than enthusiastic attitude. I was scared and felt it would be humiliating to be told that I was either able or unable to find reasonable work. I have to say that I feel very differently now. By the time I left your office yesterday, I was much more excited than fearful. "Going back" is the phrase I feel is the key. I want to go forward, not backwards in my life. I am looking forward to thinking through the process with you.
Sincerely, KS
